High temperatures worsen the health of patients with heart disease. But heat is not good for healthy people either.
Therefore, you should know how to help your heart survive hot days.
What happens to the body in the heat
In order to maintain normal body temperature, the body expends more effort, writes Sports.kz with reference to osteopathy doctor and cardiologist Viktor Sein.
If you do not take precautions in the heat for a long time, your blood pressure may drop.
In turn, this circumstance will provoke a decrease in the supply of oxygen to the body.
How to support your heart
The first thing that is important in the heat is to maintain water balance.
It doesn’t matter whether the person is indoors or outdoors.
It is important to understand that a person loses moisture not only when sweating. Liquid also leaves the body during breathing.
In addition, from 11:00 to 16:00, when the heat is at its peak, it is not recommended to leave the house.
Also during this time you need to choose a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, and wear a hat when outside.
It is equally important to limit alcohol consumption during this time.
